Now, there does not have many project for you to "interview", the situation now is 20 people fight for 1 role, every time there are opening

Reason is because a lot of tapper are over hired, so they will fill those tapper first....

on bench too long also might affect your TD and bonus

I spoke to the HR, best is you have some connection or already confirm some opening for you, before you leave your project

Now company is already start to ask some of the bench people to go

Heard from my friends: His friend in song got laid off jus a few days ago, they gave her 3 months pay. They just rephrase it as "mutual separation agreement", instead of retrenchment.

There is no company wide retrenchment going on in Accenture, but cutting excess manpower is happening
